Global markets have kicked off the week in full selloff mode, with measures of volatility shooting up by the most on record in a single day, while equity futures and cryptocurrencies plummet, reviving memories of past crises. A rise in Japanese interest rates on July 31 has made bets on a cheap yen - many of which funded purchases of assets with better returns - less profitable. Tokyo's Nikkei index finished Monday with a 12% loss, the largest one-day drop since the aftermath of "Black Monday" in October 1987, when a stock market crash stripped nearly 15% off this index and 20% off the S&P 500.  ( 68 min )

A meltdown in world equity markets in recent days is more reflective of a wind-down of carry trades used by investors to juice their bets than a hard and fast shift in the U.S. economic outlook, analysts say. While Friday's weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data was the catalyst for the market sell-off, with Japan's blue-chip Nikkei index on Monday suffering its biggest one-day rout since the 1987 Black Monday selloff, the employment report alone wasn't weak enough to be the main driver of such violent moves, they added. Instead, the answer likely lies in a further sharp position unwind of carry trades, where investors have borrowed money from economies with low interest rates such as Japan or Switzerland, to fund investments in higher-yielding assets elsewhere.  ( 69 min )

Exxon Mobil on Friday posted a better-than-expected $9.2 billion second-quarter profit based on rising output from its purchase this year of shale oil firm Pioneer Natural Resources. Exxon delivered a $2.14 a share profit that beat analysts' estimates on oil production and pricing gains that offset refining weakness.

Economic concerns are once again showing up on Wall Street's radar, as worries grow that months of elevated interest rates may be starting to hurt U.S. growth. For months, investors had been heartened by cooling inflation and gradually slowing employment, believing they bolstered the case for the Fed to begin cutting interest rates. Now that a September rate cut has come into view following a Fed meeting earlier this week, investors are worried that the central bank may have left rates at restrictive levels for too long, allowing them to take a toll on economic growth.  ( 68 min )

It's been a rollercoaster ride of a week and Friday is shaping up to be no exception for investors, with risk assets in particular set for a heavy beating when Europe wakes up.

The fear now is that the Fed may be behind the curve in easing rates, and traders have priced in an even greater chance of a 50-basis-point cut next month, versus the previous consensus of 25 bps.  ( 67 min )
